Joseph enters the Batcave. He sees Batman and Superman talking and heads down.

Joseph: Hey, Superman.

Superman: *shaking his hand* Joseph, long time no see.

Joseph: *wincing* Likewise.

Batman: Joseph, this is Justice League business, you don't need to be--

Superman: Bruce, it's alright.

Batman: Clark, he is not privy to this.

Joseph: "This" being?

Batman: None of your business.

Joseph: Well, I still have my duties.

Joseph heads to the computer

Batman: Joseph, step away.

Joseph steps back

Joseph: What now?

Batman: *eyes narrowing* Do not take that tone with me. We are presently running simulations.

Joseph: On?

Superman: Something you don't need to worry about right now.

Joseph: What happened to "it's alright, Bruce"?

Superman: You can stay and chat, but you aren't cleared to hear certain information.

Computer: SIMULATION COMPLETE

The computer displays data, locations, etc.

Joseph: What do we have here?

He heads to the computer

Batman: Joseph...

Joseph: Strange occurrences. Some tech I've never heard of: "Boomtubes". "Mother Boxes." "New Gods", what's that? ...No.

Batman: Joseph...

Superman: Joseph, what's wrong.

Joseph: Not him.

We see what he's reacting to, a word: DARKSEID

Joseph: NOT HIM!

Superman places his hand on Joseph's shoulder

Superman: Many people were affected by his invasion, Joseph. It's what brought the Justice League together.

Joseph begins talking, a flashback illustrates

Joseph: Certain things a kid really shouldn't see until he's ready to process it. I was coming home from a doctor's appointment, my bodyguard Brighton was driving the car. Then we were hit by one of those paradaemons. I had an asthma attack right then and there. Brighton grabbed me and we hid ourselves in the subway. But we weren't safe. Paradaemons swooped in and grabbed others who were hiding down there. Ripped them to pieces. I think I blacked out. Somehow Brighton managed to grab me again and get us to the safety of a hospital. I got an infection during the chaos, and between that, the asthma attack, and the trauma...I was there for a long time. Of course, after that, Dick's parents died and that hit me hard too since they were two of the few people I knew who treated me like a regular person. Was a while before I could breath fresh air again. And of course, after that, I went on a trip to Gotham....

Batman: And then Penguin kidnapped you...

Joseph: Let's just say in hindsight my path to wanting to be a hero was a bit longer than I thought.

Superman: We'll stop him.

Joseph: Do you know what he's planning?

Batman: Likely another invasion.

Joseph: Why? What does Earth have that he doesn't?

Batman: I doubt that would matter to him.

Joseph steps back

Joseph: I need air

Batman: Joseph--

Joseph: *running* I need--

At this point he goes face first into Wonder Woman's chest, as she was walking toward the other two members of the Trinity.

Wonder Woman: Oh hello. *to Batman* Who's he?

Batman: Diana, meet Dr. Joseph Kane. A somewhat new associate.

Wonder Woman: A doctor? He's quite young.

Superman: He's brilliant, and a good kid.

Wonder Woman: Pleased to meet you, Doctor.

Joseph looks bright red.

Joseph: So sorry for that I didn't mean to go face first into your breasts not that they aren't nice, they're perfect oh my god I sound like an utter perv so sorry that will never happen again I mean wow, Wonder Woman this is awesome oh god I sound like a rambling loon excuse me

Joseph sprints out

Wonder Woman: What was that?

Superman: He doesn't have an easy time with women in social settings.

Wonder Woman: How did he start working for you?

Batman: Let's just say he wants to earn training.

Wonder Woman: To be a hero? And you are having him do jobs behind the scenes before he has it?

Batman: Correct

Wonder Woman: What's his potential?

Batman: That's up to him, now isn't it.

Wonder Woman walks to the screen

Wonder Woman: So, Darkseid is trying to invade us again.

Batman: Seems like it.

Wonder Woman: Wonder if he's after the Anti-Life Formula...

Superman: Anti-Life Formula?

Wonder Woman: Something that he can use to dominate whole planets easily. *looks at the screen* Some of the people described are known to me: New Gods from New Genesis and of the Apokoliptian Resistance.

Superman: Think you can contact them?

Wonder Woman: I'll take a small group to be a diplomatic mission.

Bruce: Don't take Hal--

Wonder Woman: He might actually prove useful as a high ranked Green Lantern. Believe it or not, they might respect him for it.

Superman: What about Orion?

Wonder Woman: The less I deal with him the better. He's such an--

Superman: Ass?

Wonder Woman: I was going to say chauvinistic thug; but that works too.

Superman: What about you, Bruce?

Batman: I'm going to gather more information and talk to Cyborg about what he has found out about Boomtubes and Mother Boxes. Other than that, all we can do is wait.

Meanwhile, Joseph is running his head under the kitchen faucet

Joseph: I just put my face into Wonder Woman's breasts...great first impression, Joseph!

Dick: (off panel) Some people would kill for that chance

Joseph looks up and glares at his friend

Joseph: I'm not most people. I practically go pale when an attractive woman talks to me. This is so embarrassing....

Dick: You need to have a bit more courage.

Joseph: Not all of us have natural skill with the ladies like you, Dick. I swear, you look at a girl and they start PANTING over you.

Dick: Hey, you could learn, and I could teach. Besides, aren't you forgetting about something?

Joseph: What?

Dick: Sparring? Bruce said he wanted me to keep you sharp at least for you to be able to defend yourself and Sam if the need arises.

Joseph: Fine, I could use something to keep my mind off what happened.

Dick: *grinning* Come on, you are secretly pleased about what happened.

Joseph: *bright red* I plead the Fifth. And not another word.
Joseph encounters Wonder Woman for the first time as the Trinity meet to discuss certain matters. Matters pertaining to one nasty so called god....

Allow me to say that I was laughing while writing this, and I hope you see why. I've had this encounter in my head for a while now, just never could think of a good way to make it work until now.

Who says you can't have a bit of humor?

Plus I think I was able to work out certain events in relation to Joseph's timeline (at the moment)

Joseph Kane belongs to me

Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman et al belong to DC Comics
